Moving a gun safe

Anyone have experience moving a 500lb gun safe? This one certainly isn't as big a some safes (1200-1300 lbs), but I don't know how hard it would be to move a safe on a 700lb rated appliance dolly. I need to go through my backyard and into the basement. Can 2 guys move it?

Two guys are coming to my house to deliver a similar weight Superior safe (little heavier at 550 I think) to my house today. Mine will be going down a grass hill and up a step into my basement as well. I have rubber ramps on my basement exit though since I use my basement as a motorcycle shop as well. I can let you know how they manage it.

All I can say is I am glad it was delivered. shite did not look fun coming down the grassy hill with just two guys. They tore up a small section of my grass where they almost lost control of it coming down to the basement. I was originally not gonna tip the guys (charged me a bit extra to go to the basement), but after seeing how hard it was I gave them a small tip.

I would consider at least another person to help. Don't stand in front of the safe going down the hill.

buy some lights for it. I have the led strip style lights that people buy to put behind TV, cabitry, etc. Many online sites sell them. I got the remote power version so I would not have to bend over to turn it on. It has all colors that are bright but the I bought it for the White light. Lights up really well. 16 ft strip for 30 bucks. Double back tape holds it in place.

Yeah I installed a set of those I had from ikea and rigged them with a motion sensor. Kick on and off by themselves. They sell it in kit form all over the web, but I thought it was too pricey and just made my own since I had the parts already.
